Love Island's Laura Anderson reveals parenting ‘struggle' in candid post – and admits ‘I don't know who my daughter is'
LAURA Anderson has been inundated with messages of support after she revealed her hardest-ever parenting "struggle" - and even admitted "I don't know who my daughter is." The Love Island alum, 36, was eager to share "the truth behind my smiles" as she opened up on navigating life with one-year-old Bonnie. 6 6 6 She told how she "didn't recognise" her young daughter's new behaviour traits and that the issue of disciplining her had resulted in a knock to her self-confidence. Former air hostess Laura shares her daughter with ex Gary Lucy, 43, welcoming the tot in September 2023. Sadly she has often been the target of cruel online trolls, who recently called out her decision to keep her dog - who has bitten her child. They also slammed her for being "out of touch" after she complained about a First Class plane journey with her tot, as well as being mum-shamed for going on holiday with her new man and leaving Bonnie behind. Now the Scot has confessed that her happy snaps of late have been hiding the reality of her feelings. She uploaded a series of snaps showing family days out with the tot at the beach and the circus, sharing special time with her mum, partner and pals. Yet in her lengthy caption she outlined the real deal. Laura wrote to her fans: "These may be images of love, laughter and core memories being made recently but the truth behind the smiles is- I'm struggling. "This has been the hardest week of parenthood so far for me. Bonnie is coming up for 22months and a lot has changed and keeps changing. "I don't know who my daughter is some days, I don't recognise her which has led to my dip in confidence communicating and or disciplining my own child (especially in public). Laura Anderson takes HUGE swipe at Gary Lucy on Father's Day "I'm scared of responding in the wrong way, I'm scared of making a mistake because what if it teaches her long lasting bad behaviours?! "And let's be honest if you grew up in the 80s/90s like me, gentle parenting didn't exist. We got smacked (no offence to my parents) and now it's illegal. So I guess you could say I'm trying to find my place as a mother somewhere in between." Laura continued: "We also talk about the 'juggle' but It's so much more than that. It's the responsibility of choosing a priority every second of the day because we simply can't do it all. "I love my child but this is inevitably the hardest 'job' I've ever had (and I've had a lot of jobs.) Laura Anderson and Gary Lucy's relationship timeline Laura and Gary met when they both appeared on Celebs Go Dating back in 2022 They announced Laura's pregnancy in February 2023 Just one day later, they revealed that they had split Later in 2023, they appeared to have reconciled Laura gave birth to daughter Bonnie in September 2023 They announced shortly afterwards that they were no longer together In June 2024, Lucy was asked if Gary had seen Bonnie, to which she responded: "No he hasn't since 2nd January if you would like to direct those questions to him as I have no control over the actions of others". In August 2024, Gary shared a video of himself with Bonnie With Laura hitting out: "Instead of posting videos of the one time you saw your daughter this year, can you please reply to my text from 2weeks ago please, that would be great". Laura marked Bonnie's birthday in September 2024 as she referenced her "beautiful daughter" When someone asked where her relationship with Gary stands, Laura replied: "No matter what Gary has done and not done I will always respect him as Bonnie's father and I hope one day he is capable of being the father she deserves." " My new mantra though, is- 'show me how good it can get.' "So without wishing my daughter's childhood away or those precious bonding turning point/learning curve moments. I hope 'this' ie tantrums…too shall pass." Fans and fellow parents were quick to react to her no-holds-barred upload. One supportively wrote: "We're all wingin' it." A second urged: "Be kind to yourself and Bonnie. You went away for a week (no shame in that) you've moved house and moved in with your partner and she's started nursery all in the space of a month? That's a lot for anyone to deal with. Once life feels more settled, so will she." A third noted: "Bless your heart, it's hard AF & doesn't get easier as they get older! Hugs sweetie x" One then added: "Love how genuine & honest u are Laura. "Parenthood certainly ain't all plain sailing but you've got this beautiful mama even if it feels like u don't sometimes, that's a normal part of parenthood but u do n ur such a great mammy to beautiful Bonnie." 6 6 6

Laura Anderson takes savage swipe at ex Gary Lucy as she spends Father's Day alone with their daughter Bonnie - after claiming 'co-parenting and financial support didn't exist'
has taken yet another savage swipe at ex Gary Lucy as she spent Father's Day alone with their daughter Bonnie on Sunday. The former Love Island star, 36, shares the 21-month-old with the former Hollyoaks actor, 43, who she split from during her pregnancy. After their daughter was born the pair briefly got back together before then parting for good. Laura, who has claimed 'co-parenting and financial support didn't exist', took to her Instagram Stories saying she felt 's***' for the tot on Father's Day. She captioned a clip of herself sarcastically giving a thumbs up she wrote: 'Cheers to the single mums that feel sh*t for their kids on Father's Day'. Laura also shared a post about sending love on Father's Day only to add in what appeared to be another swipe: 'And Great dads who show up and financially support their children. You're children love you'. From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, subscribe to the DailyMail's new Showbiz newsletter to stay in the loop. MailOnline have contacted Gary Lucy's reps for comment. In January Laura looked back at the last year she said the past 12 months 'weren't easy' as she never imagined that she would become a single parent. She said that financially she wasn't supported with Bonnie and that she has been 'struggling everyday'. Laura did however include some positive highlights in her post including meeting her new footballer boyfriend Clark Robertson. Scottish TV star Laura took to her Instagram in July responding to a comment as she claimed Gar hadn't seen their daughter since early January. Responding to a troll who questioned whether Bonnie ever sees her father, Laura replied: 'Do you mean has her daddy seen her…. No he hasn't since 2nd January if you would like to direct those questions to him as I have no control over the actions of others x.' A representative for Gary declined to comment when contacted by MailOnline at the time. Then in September the actor, who also shares two sons and two daughters with ex-wife Natasha, broke his silence on the matter when a cruel troll commented on a sweet clip of Bonnie playing with her elder brother. 'When Theodore got to be the big Brother for the day …. If this doesn't melt your heart I don't know what will ,' he captioned. The post was flooded with touching comments, yet a negative one caught Gary's eye. 'Funny you keep posting videos but you never see her,' a person wrote - but the actor was quick to reply: 'Nope only you 'shaz' everyone else seemed to just enjoy a lovely video …. 'I'll block ya in a bit … then ya can set up a new email / insta profile so ya can keep a bitter twisted eye on my page.' He went on adding in another comment below: 'Course she does .. she's invested hours n hours on ppls 'instagram lives' that's gotta going for something right ….. oh wait.' One fan raced in his support, commenting: 'Sounds like the Gary police are out in force today, leave the man alone, if you don't like what he posts then don't look and unfollow, I'm sure he won't give a, its his profile, he can post what he likes. Rant over.' Earlier this month Laura hit back at trolls after suffering backlash for holidaying in the Maldives without her daughter. She jetted off with her boyfriend Clark and shared a series of sun-soaked snaps from her romantic getaway. While many gushed over the stunning snaps, one follower accused the reality star of abandoning her toddler. They wrote: 'Poor Bonnie ditched again… I just wouldn't choose to leave my child over and over again thousands of miles away. A wee night away though absolutely!' Laura wasted no time to hit back and replied: 'Over and over please explain,' with many of her fans rushing to defend her. They branded the critic a 'mum-shamer' as they praised Laura for taking some well deserved time for herself. Firing back once more, Laura commented: 'No one shames the dads.' However, the original commenter doubled down, saying: 'I will if it's a dad doing it. 'Shame on Bonnie's dad, shame on my dad, shame on any dad that treats their kids the way some do. Shame on any sex. 'And I didn't say shame on you. Just said you'd ditched the wee babe again. 'I ain't ringing the bells like a town crier, just saying bairns been left to someone else to look after while you jet off again!' Laura later clarified to fans that she had only been away for just four days and had many video calls with her daughter.

'Think how many mums out there are struggling with that work-life balance, it's not just me. It's so relatable and that's the best thing about 'Love Island', having a social media following, I've really understood it more since having a baby. It's so nice to resonate and it really is a positive place.' 'It's just full of mums, it's not all about 'you're trying to look sexy all the time' because that's not important.'
